Media Dustin Poirier has a fight booked - who is his opponent?

Colby

 

[Tweak896]

Gaethje or Hooker. I'm leaning towards Gaethje.

 

[richardjohnson]

Colby

God I hope not. Would be criminal to waste what is likely Dustin’s last fight on that boring decision machine.

 

[VinceArch]

I'm guessing Gaethje.

 

[svmr_db]

Colby

Never happening

 

[StonedLemur]

Fizzy or Paddy.... literally don't care for the Hooker nor the Gaethje fight.

 

[fortheo]

I hope Fiziev, but knowing dustin and the point he is at in his career, it is probably a bigger name fight, and probably one I'm less interested in. My guess is it is a rematch

 

[Gabe]

Damn he jumped off that Colby wagon fast, didn’t he say he only wanted to fight one more time? Gotta be Hooker or Gaethje, I’ll say Hooker.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Hooka

 

[sonhow]

Hooker is for Conor
Paddy is for Moicano

Leaves Fiziev or Gaethje or I guess Gamrot is option as well or are they training partners?. Out of those Id pick Gamrot. We just saw Gaethje and Fiziev needs a tune up. But if they dont want to fight each other wait for Oliviera Chandler winner. Or drag Benny from somewhere to get koed again.

Seriously! Been there done that and it really does nothing for the division. Paddy makes the most sense bc he's a rising star and Dustin is a proven legend in his way out, passing of the guard type of deal(I think Dustin wins though).

 

[The Siege]

It's definitely Garth (from the options presented). It's a big fight that can headline a PPV card and it settles a score.

No more retirements should be allowed from fighters

Tired of having the pre fight talks being about the retirement, fucking retirement speeches in the octagon, fucking video packages and then a few months later "ehh I kinda want to fight and make money again guys.."

 

[OldBoy91]

It's likely gonna be Gaethje me thinks.


Imagine the sheer salt flowing all over the MMA world if it's Paddy though and he subbed Dustin and sent him packing King Green style.

 

[AmonTobin]

Won’t be shocked if it’s a Gaethje-Poirier trilogy. I can see how it would be mutually beneficial for both men right now.

 

[Question]

Paddy or Justin

 

[Wreckless]

Guy's last 5 fights have been nothing but retirement talks.

I think Dustin wins too sir, but I would love to see it.
The other fights are just that ..the other fights.

Hooker is for Conor

Conor is a matchmaker and books his own fights now? Good to know!

I imagine if Chandler can win or get out of the Oliveira rematch without significant injuries the UFC will still be interested in having him fight Conor next, given the amount of work they've put into that pairing ie UFC 303 & the TUF season.
